Cross-Cutting Attributions

Cross-cutting attributions are areas of PEPFAR programming that contribute across several program areas. They contain limited indicative information related to aspects such as human resources, health infrastructure, or key populations programming. However, they represent only a small proportion of the total funds that PEPFAR allocates through the COP process. Additionally, they have changed significantly over the years. As such, analysis and interpretation of these data should be approached carefully. Learn more

Targets

PEPFAR sets targets using the Monitoring, Evaluation, and Reporting (MER) System - documentation for which can be found on PEPFAR's website at https://www.pepfar.gov/reports/guidance/. As with most data on this website, the targets here have been extracted from the COP documents. Targets are for the fiscal year following each COP year, such that selecting 2016 will access targets for FY2017. This feature is currently experimental and should be used for exploratory purposes only at present.

A critical component to building and strengthening the laboratory capacity in Sudan is to have well trained managers and laboratory personnel. Training and professional development are needed at all levels. By working with the governments in both southern and northern Sudan to identify the greatest needs and potential courses, workshops, or professional opportunities, CDC can directly send the approprate personnel to these opportunities. The personnel bring back their new knowledge and skills to move forward the national laboratory policies and plans.

Funding for Laboratory Infrastructure (HLAB): $20,000
